The Whitening
YA Romantic Fantasy Adventure
Life without purpose isn't life.
In the elven towns surrounding Lake Azure, peace endures, but only just. Serurz has grown up in its fragile shelter, marked by her fiery red hair and a single white lock that draws quiet attention she never asked for. Orphaned by war and bound by a vow never to abandon what family remains, she measures her life by protection and restraint. When a mysterious package arrives and begins to unravel her nights with unsettling dreams, Serurz turns to training, forcing her fears into discipline and routine. Yet danger finds her anyway, and moments meant to be ordinary fracture into reminders that safety is never guaranteed, and that she may be far more vulnerable than she’s willing to admit.
Her path leads her toward Weisless, a breathtaking academy perched among the trees and revered across the continent for shaping the finest elven warriors. But Weisless is as politically fraught as it is beautiful, and Serurz’s presence there is anything but welcome. Some see her as unworthy. Others see a risk. With a body that defies tradition and a left shoulder that will never allow her to fight as expected, Serurz must train harder than most, adapting, enduring, and learning to wield both weapon and will in ways that set her apart. Each failure threatens not only her place at Weisless, but the fragile life she left behind.
As Serurz pushes beyond the limits placed on her, she begins to uncover a strength born not of perfection, but of choice. Bonds form slowly, trust is earned in quiet moments, and love grows where she least expects it, steadfast and unyielding in the face of doubt. Somewhere between who she was and who she’s becoming, Serurz senses a deeper change stirring beneath the surface, one she doesn’t yet understand. The Whitening is a story of found love, strength born from limitation, and the courage to define oneself in a world eager to decide for you, where even the smallest transformation may carry consequences far beyond what Serurz is ready to face.

About BL Iverson
I didn’t set out to become a fantasy author. I just couldn’t stop listening to the characters in my head.
It started about five years ago, when a young woman named Serurz wouldn’t let me rest until I began writing her story. She’s still growing into her own saga (second book), but then, just before Christmas 2023, someone else spoke up — a determined girl named Lila who had no intention of waiting her turn. She came with a time-sliding adventure, a stubborn spark, and a boy named Ethan. I had no choice but to set everything else aside and follow her.
I've always loved stories where people fall in love — where they grow, stumble, and find something better in each other. I believe in soulmates, though I also believe there’s more than one person in the world who can change your life. So, I write stories that reflect that: full of magic, tension, loyalty, and the kind of connection that bends fate.
Time Lost wasn’t an easy book to finish. I rewrote the ending again and again, because every version tore Lila and Ethan apart. Then one day, while lying flat on a physical therapy table, aching from more than just plot problems, the solution finally came. The path opened up — and so did the ending they deserved.
If you're a reader who loves stories where time isn’t quite stable but love is, where characters change through the choices they make and the people they fight for, then welcome. You're the kind of person I write for. I hope Lila’s courage and Ethan’s devotion remind you that hope is worth holding on to — even when the clock’s against you.
I’m currently developing Captain Stormbringer, a companion series that dives into ancient sea-magic, forgotten guardians, and the shadowed conflicts stirring beneath Erastra’s waves. Stormbringer, a tidebinder with a haunted past, will uncover secrets that tie directly into the larger timeline of Time Lost.
When I’m not writing, I’m probably imagining new trouble for my characters, wondering whether Serurz and Lila would get along, or debating if the sand drake deserves his own short story. (He does. He knows it.)

The Wolf
The she-wolf in this mark was born of loss. When Serurz encountered her, the world had already taken everything else—her mother, her siblings, her pack—cut down by roaming goblins that left nothing behind but silence. Saving the lone pup nearly cost Serurz her life, a moment where survival was not guaranteed and mercy demanded more than courage.
Their bond becomes something quieter and stronger than magic—loyalty earned through sacrifice. This wolf walks beside Serurz long after that first meeting, a living reminder that family can be found in the unlikeliest moments… and that this story is only the beginning of a much larger saga yet to unfold.
